as one door shuts, another one traps your fingers in the hinge and all that

you can always come back to it if you want but for now, just concentrate on the new career and put it all behind you. its the past now, its the future that you can do something about mate

Mike dont give up tiling because of this job mate!
some customers are just trying it on......and if it makes you feel better (though it prob wont) a customer i did a bathroom for this week (started monday while they went to the caravan for a few days) 4 walls at a height of 1200 mm from floor with a mosiac border on top...finished in a brushed aluminium square edge profile....has just rang me to say that she doesn't feel that she should have to pay me because the field tiles only finish at a height of 1197 mm from floor......and i am not kidding lol.

Some people are not cut out for working on their own!
From the posts that I've read Mike it seems to have been tough for you over the last 6 months, and not just with the tiling! Its very rare that we can all do the type of work that we enjoy as a hobby and its then that you have to take stock of your life and make tough decisions - others on this forum have changed direction and are trying something new.
I'am sure that everyone who has read your posts wish you well for the future and good luck.

Well its an asian family and a few generations live there (big house) iv always had someone litterally standing behind my shoulder watching that is no joke or exagertion. One off the brothers who in his own words is abit poorly in the mind came in last night after the brother had left conviently and said my brothers not paying you whilst giggerlng.

Today when i went back and was told it has taken me so long (3 days??!!) becuse off my lack off expierence and that if he wnted too he wouldnt pay me. i explained that if he wanted too do that i would remove everytile back off the wall there and then.

He also keeps saying he has loads off houses and contracters working for him that could have done a quicker and better job which is a bit off a kick in the teeth.

Thanks mate for your words i quite like working on my own tho i havent really done a job where im working with others. I dont like the bitchyness that goes with it. and i also dont do the talking behind some ones back bit i just say it straight too them. which has got me in trouble before now as the wife says i stick up for people too easily lol

Ill still be about the forum i like the banter and the wllingness for so many people too offer there advice and expierences too others

its a nice thing that

this guy is nothing more than something on the bottom of your shoe mike,,do not ever let people like this make you change what you want to do mate,,may i ask have you been paid for this job yet mate?

 

[mikebidd]

No i was meant to be paid last night hence why i stayed so long yesterday but he disapeared.

Went back today had a "heated conversation" with him and the things i need too do are.
1) dig grout out off floor
2) re grout floor
3) theres a piece off ply next too door frame that flexs badly which he says i was meat to tile it about 15mm wide and runs from floor to cieling. even tho im sure i said he would need to paint it.
